Clearly Convey Expectations to At-Risk Students 
In a friendly manner, share your expectations clearly and frequently. In some environments, holding class meetings to determine the rules is acceptable. However, the lack of structure and self-control that is often evident in at-risk students can force such rule-setting to be counterproductive. Consider the rules most important to how you want to run the classroom, write your expectations in positive statements, and post them prominently in the classroom. Review and discuss these rules to bring all members of the class to a common beginning point.
